Welcome to the Hearthstone realm!
WELCOME!
   New update has arrived. This deck is completely overhauled to take a different approach thanks to new Uldum card, Clever Disguise, which gave me a nice idea...
Â
HOW TO PLAY?
   Game-plan is as easy as a pie: Mulligan hard for Cavern Shinyfinder followed by cards lower than four mana. When you start, play Pilfer/Hallucination on turn 1, followed by Cavern Shinyfinder to fetch your twin-weapon or Underbelly Fence/Vendetta to stabilize your Tempo on turn 2. Then, continue with Blink Fox/Shaku to get far ahead of your opponent. This opening is by far the strongest.
Â
   On turn 4 and beyond, it's really up to your skills to utilize Archmage Vargoth well. Now, you will see why Clever Disguise is important...
Â
Â
   I can actually call this deck as Spell Thief Rogue, come to think of it, because of the potential these spells have illustrated above. When combined with Vargoth, you will double the pillage to have access to more resources...
Â
Â
   However, that's not all. Double the upgrades you will apply to your Spectral Cutlass with Vargoth for more burst potential and heal. Crush the dreams of Aggro players...
Â
Â
   And cycle out more (Fan of Knives/Mimic Pod) to gain more (Academic Espionage). Any spell strategies I explained until here can be done behind the shadows via Valeera the Hollow.
Â
OPTIONS...OPTIONS...
   Let's have a look at some cards I didn't mention...
Â
    Have any questions? Feel free to ask, then I will give my answer in return. Please, test this deck just like me and give a plus if you enjoyed it as it means a lot to me. Otherwise, have fun in Wild format!

Why two copies of Spectral Cutlass??
Maybe with another draw card mechanic as Raiding Party besides Cavern Shinyfinder could be viable but I don't want to imagine an hypothetical scenario when you need to use Reno and you're unable to do that because both weapons (and Shinyfinder, of course) remains at the bottom of your deck :(

Quote From Psymon Why two copies of Spectral Cutlass??
Ooze effects are still viable. Thus, two copies of Spectral Cutlass are here as a better precaution compared to one copy of it.
Quote From Psymon Maybe with another draw card mechanic as Raiding Party...
Let's see. This card was nerfed from 3-Mana to 4-Mana and you will draw your "only pirate" if Combo effect is active. Why bother with such hassle?

That happened to me like 1 game out of 30. If I recall, there were one Mecha'thun deck that has duplicates in it and Reno as a healer, which hit Legend around 3 months ago. Also, some decks utilizing Elise aren't purely Highlander decks but that's another story. So, you have two options:
Choice is yours. If there are any questions, feel free to ask 😃
Why Pilfer instead of Swashburglar?
Umm... Reason is just explained under "OPTIONS" section but I will repeat it anyway. With recent patch, Pilfer will fetch any card from any class, rather than your opponent's class. Thus, it's a plus when you face Rogues.
I kindly advise to read all points for this deck carefully. Whenever you have any questions, just shoot.
Ah alright, because the card has the same text so was wondering why you wouldn't want the 1/1 body.Â
Thanks for explaining. So Blizzard forgot about changing Swashburglar and any other "burgle" cards that are in Wild?
I believe they didn't forget changing them. It's better to have a variety of thief cards. You can find the reason on patch notes or within official forums I think.
OK. You convinced me. I've just crafted Trade Prince Gallywix.... 😬
Â
 The rest of the deck looks solid though. I'll reserve judgement on The Prince. For now. 🤔
In any Control Rogue deck (N'Zoth/Big/Reno) or Thief Rogue, he is insane, not kidding. The worst part is that majority of Wild players don't know about him, including you, so it's natural to have bias towards Gallywix. Try to build a deck including him, then let me know if Gallywix is good or bad.
Is Trade Prince Gallywix absolutely needed? I don't have him and I'm loathe to spend 1600 dust on a card that only seems useful in one deck.
 Other than that this deck looks awesome. Nice work! 😊Â
In Wild, Gallywix is one of the best 6-Mana drops in Hearthstone, and the best 6-Mana Rogue minion for me. Rather than Thief Rogue, you can use him in Reno Rogue or Control Rogue. In short, Gallywix can fit in any Rogue deck. Think of him like this: You play Valeera for 9-Mana. You only hide for a turn, do nothing, and lose a huge-tempo afterwards. However, when you drop Gallywix, you will be far ahead.
This decks seems dope, but I was thinking about adding the Death Knight (it's a perfect value card + when you have your Cutlass equiped, your Hero Power is kinda useless,). It's also really good with weapon buffs. What card would you cut for Valeera?
If you have all cards, then Cutthroat Buccaneer would be cut for Valeera since your aim is to focus on weapon. I have her in my collection, however 9-mana and do nothing but hide seems too late, and may cost a huge tempo-loss. It's the same reason why I didn't use Tess. At most, I have 7-mana card in this deck, and Tempo-Mana relation matters a lot for this deck.
The deck looks like so much fun. Will try it out tonight. Keep it up
Sure, I will keep it up, no worries there. After migrating my stuff/decks from Hearthpwn to OoC, I will build new decks.
